Yahoo news reports that Oliver Stone will "make the first major US film about September 11".

"It's a work of collective passion, a serious meditation on what happened, and carries within a compassion that heals," Stone said in a statement issued by producers.

Oscar-winning star [Nic] Cage will take the lead role of New York Port Authority policeman Sergeant John McLoughlin, who was trapped along with one of his fellow officers in the mangled wreckage of one of the twin towers that crumbled after being hit by hijacked passenger jets.

A compassion that heals and Nic Cage!? I second the sentiment of my source (Sebastian at Obsidian Wings), who is "incredibly unthrilled".

Comments:

Just yesterday I was thinking to myself, "they should make a move that combines Pearl Harbor's drama with JFK's historical accuracy."

Hah. But if we sit in the audience and laugh at this film, as we did with Pearl Harbor, we will be probably be lynched.

Although this movie could legitimately end with the Marines coming.
